Two Interviews

The gods must have been smiling upon me today, because although I've been feeling like shit the last few days, I actually felt decent enough for both of my interviews today.

The first interview with KlickNation was ended up being a group interview with two other classmates. I knew they were being interviewed as well, but I thought it would be individually. Having two other familiar faces there ended up being really good. And since there are multiple internship positions, it wasn't like we were competing against each other and trying to sabotage the other. Richard, the Brand Development Director from KlickNation was really easy going and honestly sold me a little more about possibly working there. It still wouldn't want to be my end job, but I wouldn't mind having the experience there. Because the whole thing was so last minute, the work I had to show wasn't the best I could do, but he looked at it and said that he could see it fitting in to what they're doing and what they want, so that's good. I have to email him some follow-up stuff by Monday, so hopefully I'll hear something soon after that.

The second interview at my school for the Student Worker position was pretty straight-forward. I talked with the director many times before, so it was really just another conversation between us; maybe with a little more questions on his end. He mentioned that a lot of people applied for this position, so although I think my chances are good, I can't really be certain. He hopes to make a decision soon, so hopefully it'll be good news.

Two interviews in one day, and I think they both went well-enough. Of course, I've been wrong about these things many times before, so only time will tell.

Wish Me Luck

I'm not quite over my illness, not by a long shot, but I am definitely better. Let's just hope I'm even better tomorrow, since I have not one, but TWO job interviews.

The first is with KlickNation, a local game studio that specializes in games for social networks, such as Superhero City; which if you read my blog as religiously as I pretend you do, you've already heard about. The interview is for an unpaid internship, which I'm not too thrilled with, and I was notified about this interview VERY last minute, as in only a few hours ago, so I don't have an actual portfolio of the kind of work they're looking for to show them. Throw in the fact that this isn't even really the type of career I want to go into, and you're left with many reasons why I'm not too worried about not getting the position. Don't get me wrong, it'd definitely be great experience and could even turn into something paid down the line, but unless I have that certainty, I'm not gonna let it affect me.

The second interview was with my school for a Student Worker position in Student Affairs. This position IS paid, and I really feel is right up my alley. I've already tried hard on my own to set up events and make changes at the school on behalf of my fellow students, so imagine how much I could do if it's actually my job. This is the one I'm hoping for.

All in all, I have two big opportunities tomorrow, and I'd be lucky to snag either. Honestly, I'm hoping for both, would be more than happy with just the school position, would be shocked if I only got the KlickNation position, but would OK as long as I got one. Wish me luck tomorrow, and Tylenol, don't let me down.
